Ideas have to come from somewhere.
if so what was it? for those without a signature scent have you just worn something somebody has claimed to wear? again if so what was it?
my uncle wears carolina herrera for men. i first went oh hey you wear the same frag as angelina jolie. then i tried it in the store when i bought the women's version for my mom. i liked it well enough. not a masterpiece but really good, simple, versatile. i also liked the description in the guide playboy son of eau d'hermes.
Ideas have to come from somewhere.
Yup, years ago, when I was in my early twenties there was a colleague of mine who wore Ysatis, which I found unbelievably alluring and exotic. Even though I didn't care for her much as a person, she did have a certain Angelina-Jolieish-tough-vamp-mystery-aura about her. Anyway I "stole" it and wore it for years. Alas, it never turned me into a tombraiding vamp. Today I find Ysatis prefectly appalling as a scent.

Not that I'm aware of. If I ever have, I did not do it knowingly.

No. But in the 80's a friend tried to steal not just one but two of mine: Coco and Salvador Dalí. (I must have smelled fabulous )
It turned out to be a case of poetic justice, though: both gave her a headache!
She later had the nerve to try to sell them to me. I didn't buy.
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
I don't think that there are many people around (and not any people I know) who chose Armani pour Homme, my current favorite, as their signature scent
However, there was a time in my life when I used to wear Eau Sauvage and Knize Ten very frequently, knowing full well that these are signature scents of some guys I know, so either I deliberately stole the idea or unconsciously went along with this influence (I mean, in my opinion, both are great frags, which I would have worn irrespective who wears them apart from me, though this signature scent thing might have further influenced my decision)
another one i'm thinking of stealing. rl safari. haven't smelled it yet though but i saw a bottle in one of our family friend's houses. he is the classiest guy i know. not the richest... the classiest.
I've always thought this concept of a singular "signature" scent is something claimed by those who don't know shit from shingles in perfume.
A friend of mine who is quite a 'cool' and interesting woman wears Dolce Vita and Gucci by Gucci so I guess I was inspired by her to wear those too but I wouldn't call it stealing a signature scent though .
Petty small minded people have no place in my life.
Nope. I have never knowingly done that.
The idea if 'stealing a signature scent' makes no sense to me..... these are products that can be bought by anyone, right? It's not like they were in their lab creating their own frag and someone snuck in and stole the recipe. If someone wears something all the time and you like it and want to wear it all the time, too. So be it.
Although years ago I had a large group of friends who a few of the ladies in that group knew me in an intimate way. In fact I got 'recommended' by one to others and it just kind of blossomed from there. I wore a certain cologne all the time mostly cause I didn't really know as much about cologne back then, knew I didn't like that many and that was the only one I really liked. So people knew that scent through me. Well one gathering someone else showed up wearing this cologne and a couple of these girls got really excited at the prospects of me showing up at this party and searched for me in the house. Found this guy wearing that cologne and were disappointed. Both called me right away to tattle on this guy for wearing 'your cologne' as they put it. I said anyone can buy it at the store, I didn't make it. At that point I decided to diversify my 'wardrobe'. Years later now these women know me as a guy who always has a different cologne on and always smells good no matter what.
Although now when people ask me what I'm wearing I feign ignorance and say I'm not sure what I put on.....
Cary Grant's git i will eventually get a 17oz flacon of it.
Nah, can't say i have. I've had people buy 2-3 fragrances that I wear however. Thankfully it was during my SoCal - Hollister phase, not a huge loss
My best friend's signature scent is Burberrys for Men (the original, I think at one point it was called London). I'm not gonna lie, I HAVE stolen a few sprays from his bottle (once, because I was going to school and had forgotten to spray anything on), and thankfully it just doesn't work with my skin chemistry. It's much better on him than me.
Edit: But, I HAVE had the reverse sort of happen before. I've got friends who always steal sprays from my wardrobe when they come over and we're going out, and then are the first guys to make fun of me for having fragrances (I love how that works right?). They normally pick one and use the heck out of it, effectively making me like it less. When I've got a buddy who wears my Creed Green Valley every time he comes over, it sort of loses it's luster when I wear it.

The Department of Ophthalmology at Wake Forest Baptist Health is one of the fastest growing eye centers in the United States with more than 120,000 patient visits annually. We successfully treat patients with the most complex and challenging eye conditions by offering the latest diagnostic evaluations, leading-edge treatments, and personal attention from some of the nation's best ophthalmologists.Referred by other physicians throughout North Carolina and surrounding states, patients come to our main campus located in Winston-Salem or to one of our off site locations located in Bermuda Run, Greensboro, Winston-Salem and Mount Airy, NC. Nearly 90 percent of our full-time ophthalmologists are listed in Best Doctors in America and provide care in all specialties in ophthalmology. Specialty care is offered for cornea and external diseases; diseases of the retina and uveitis; oculofacial plastic surgery; orbital surgery; glaucoma; neuro-ophthalmic disorders; pediatric eye diseases and strabismus; and, ocular oncology.
In addition, our Comprehensive Eye Service and our Optometric Eye Service provides complete eye exams to patients without referral from another health care provider. Whether patients need a new eyeglass prescription or care for a complex eye disease, treatment can start with these services.
All of our staff ophthalmologists are faculty at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, training the next generation of specialists in eye care. Our department offers a robust resident training program in comprehensive ophthalmology in addition to fellowships in cornea and external disease, retina-vitreous disease, and oculofacial plastic and orbital surgery.
Patients come to Wake Forest Baptist Health Eye Center for:
Leading-Edge Eye Treatments and Therapies…many pioneered by current Wake Forest ophthalmologists. Because many of our ongoing work in clinical trials, research and innovation, we offer treatments not available everywhere. An example is our recently FCA-approved EndoSerter, a hand-held instrument that performs transplant more quickly, with smaller incisions and o sutures. Another therapy explored at Wake Forest is the use of topical chemotherapy for ocular surface malignancy. We are continually exploring new therapies for diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and uveitis as well as new treatment for strabismus and pediatric cataracts, among other conditions.
By using new approaches like these with top-line equipment and resources typically available at only large academic health institutions like Wake Forest Baptist Health, we achieve more successful outcomes in patients in common and the more difficult to treat eye conditions. Our state-of-the-art laser equipment makes LASIK and retinal surgery faster and often more comfortable. The latest ultrasonic instrumentation facilitates removal in the most challenging cataract. The use of the latest imaging devices helps us diagnose eye conditions more easily.
Genuine care and understanding from acclaimed specialists…who take time with patients to educate them on their condition and treatment options. While we see hundreds of patients daily, that isn't our goal. It's caring for and educating each patient we treat. Patients can expect personal attention from every one, including receptionists, nurses and technicians, and plenty of time face-to-face with our physicians.
One-stop multispecialty cares…since many eye diseases are connected to other systemic diseases. By offering leading-edge treatments, top-line diagnostic and surgical equipment, and personalized attention from some of the nation's best ophthalmologists, we successfully treat patients with even the most complex and challenging eye conditions. Our ophthalmologists are always researching and developing better treatments — and even complete cures — for many eye diseases and disorders. And they lead up-and-coming ophthalmologists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine to do the same. Our department also offers a robust resident training program and fellowships in cornea, retina and oculoplastics.

Dixons prices up Motorola Xoom for Blighty
More than expected
Retailer Dixons has priced up the Wi-Fi only Motorola Xoom. The 10.1in Androud 3.0 tablet will sell for £500 when it goes on sale "in the first week of April".
Dixons outlets Currys and PC World both show that that timeframe is not yet confirmed. Indeed, both say delivery will take place on or after 9 April.
But "if you order from us today you'll be the first in Europe to receive one", the retailer chirped.
Dixons put up a pre-order page earlier this week. It signalled a pre-order price of £450, but was quickly removed.
Xoom is powered by a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core chip and packs in 1GB of memory, a 1280 x 800 touchscreen display, 2.4GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi, an HDMI port, GPS, two cameras - 2Mp and 5Mp - 32GB of storage and a Micro SD card slot.
Motorola will also be offering a Xoom with HSPA 3G connectivity, but that'll be coming through Carphone Warehouse, which has yet to say how much it will charge for the tablet. ®

WASHINGTON – When President Obama and Congress return to Washington later this week, the countdown to the fiscal cliff will be measured in days – yet no one really knows how, when or even whether an agreement might be reached.
Sorting out the scenarios is like trying to assemble a 100-piece puzzle on deadline. About the only decent bet is the one offered by Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent:
"We're going to spend New Year's Eve here, I believe," he told CNN on Sunday.
There are four general ways the drama is likely to unfold: no deal at all, the long-elusive big deal, consideration of legislation that one chamber already passed or a small time-buying accord that would require further negotiations.
If no alternative is adopted, Bush-era income tax cuts will expire at the end of the year. On Jan. 2, $109 billion in automatic spending cuts would take effect, and half of them would involve defense.
Those are just the big items, however.
Extended unemployment benefits for an estimated 2.1 million Americans begin expiring at the end of this month. Also ending would be the 2 percentage-point Social Security payroll-tax cut and the alternative minimum tax "patch." The AMT, originally aimed at wealthy taxpayers who avoided high taxes with deductions, wasn't indexed to inflation, and therefore it could affect 31 million people unless Congress approves a change.
Also looming is the annual battle over the "doc fix," or Medicare payments to doctors. If no action is taken, those payments might be cut by about 27 percent.
It's difficult to gauge sentiment for agreements. Although Obama pleaded with congressional leaders Friday to work something out and they plan to try, Republicans in the House of Representatives remained defiant.
Even as the president used his weekly Saturday radio address to offer a happy holidays greeting, House Speaker John Boehner used much of the Republicans' own weekly address to talk politics.
Obama, Boehner said, "refuses to challenge the members of his party to deal honestly with entitlement reform and the big issues facing our nation. That is why we find ourselves here today."
But if the negotiating chaos of recent years has taught anything, it's not to pay too much attention to the public sniping. Obama, Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and their staffs are expected to talk privately.
Here are the likely potential scenarios:
• No deal. Few on Capitol Hill will say it publicly, but there's a lot of talk about how each side can benefit politically if the stalemate continues past Jan. 1. And if the markets don't react once the cliff is reached, there might be even less incentive to get a quick deal.
There also might be a new incentive to act. Since higher tax rates would go into effect, getting a tax deal might become easier. Lawmakers could argue that they're now cutting taxes for lower- and middle-income people while keeping them intact for the wealthy.
• Big deal. Obama and Boehner weren't that far apart when they traded offers last week, and for all the sniping there are messages of hope in the remarks from both sides. Boehner offered $1 trillion in new revenue and the same amount in spending cuts. Obama offered $1.2 trillion in revenue and about the same in cuts. Republicans contest the president's spending-reduction figure, however, saying that once interest savings are subtracted, the cuts are less than $1 trillion.
• Pending legislation. There are vehicles available to lawmakers that would enable them to move quickly. The House passed a measure in August to continue all the Bush income-tax rates for a year. The Senate adopted a measure in July to maintain those rates for all but individuals who earn more than $200,000 a year and families that make more than $250,000, the same limits Obama backed.
Those bills, which also contain an AMT patch, might be taken up again. Such legislation is likely to draw strong support.
• Small deal. There are more "fiscal crises" on the horizon: A new debt-limit ceiling is likely to be needed in mid-February and current fiscal-year spending runs out March 27.
Congress and the president might extend the tax rates or avoid some spending cuts and couple that with one of the other upcoming crises in the hope that a big deal could be worked out later. Such a smaller deal also would be easier to get through Congress before Jan. 1.
There's a precedent. A year ago, conservative Republicans staged a revolt against a plan to extend the Social Security payroll-tax cut and some other expiring benefits. Certain jobless benefits were about to run out and Medicare payments were to balloon. Two days before Christmas, the House and Senate agreed to a two-month extension.

CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (AP) -- The candidates running for Arizona's 1st Congressional District squared off at a candidate forum in Casa Grande on Thursday night.
Republican Jonathan Paton attacked his main opponent, Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick, for supporting the federal Affordable Care Act.
Kirkpatrick, meanwhile, knocked Paton for having lived most of his life outside the newly-redrawn district, which extends from the northern outskirts of Tucson on the south to the Arizona-Utah line on the north.
Kirkpatrick held the congressional seat for one term before being defeated in 2010 by current Rep. Paul Gosar, who is seeking re-election in a neighboring district. Paton is a former state legislator who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2010.
The Casa Grande Dispatch reports about 300 people attended the event, which also featured Libertarian candidate Kim Allen.

Week 46: Assess your volunteer potential. The last two weeks' challenges focused on volunteerism and local genealogy societies (which are also dependent on volunteers). Take a look at your skill set and determine what types of opportunities best suit you. Do you speak two languages? Maybe you can offer translation services. Do you only have free time after the kids are in bed? Perhaps an indexing project is best for you. Knowing your strengths can help shape your research process. If you take this challenge a step further and actually volunteer, give yourself a pat on the back. Bloggers are encouraged to assess and share their own skill sets, as well as any volunteer experiences they have.
I can't believe so many weeks have gone by since I last wrote about one of these tasks. This week's topic is about volunteering for your local genealogy or family history society. What can you offer?
Volunteering in any capacity is rewarding. Often volunteers get more out of the experience than the people they are helping. A few years ago when I was training to be a counsellor I volunteered at the Wayside Chapel at Kings Cross as a Crisis Centre Counsellor. It was a very educational experience for me.
I spent my weekly shifts finding clothes and beds for a night for people who, for various reasons, weren't able to find these things for themselves. I also answered phone calls on the Crisis Line from people who needed help in one way or another. Sometimes they just wanted to talk to someone who wouldn't judge them. Sometimes they wanted to be told what to do, or what not to do. I was in dread of the suicide call but I never got one.
I usually wandered around the cafe every so often to make sure everyone was OK. Sometimes I'd give people a shake to make sure they were not suffering from too much heroine. I did have to call an ambulance once for someone who had done just that.
For people in these situations life is a struggle, one day at a time, and all we can do is help them get through that day, and listen to them when they want to talk. Occasionally we were able to help someone to get themselves out of the mess they were in and remember who they are and what they are capable of, and that is the best feeling of all!
I changed careers and here I am, a genealogist. I still wanted to volunteer somewhere, and make some sort of contribution to the world, and the Society of Australian Genealogists is where I chose to help out.
My training and experience is in IT and so when I saw a request for help installing CDs on the computers in the library I thought "I can do that'. That was in about 2006 or 2007.
Now, in 2010, I am still installing CDs on the network, on the server that I helped to set up. I am Convenor of the IT Committee, mostly because I was the last man standing. I have helped to set up an arrangement for third-party support for our computer networks, and even though I don't always know what they are talking about, having not those networking skills, I know enough to know what we want. I have found a use for other skills, such as team leadership and organisation, and dealing with other organisations, in doing this work.
I also use my IT analysis and design skills on the Society's website. I haven't built it but I help decide what should be in it and what it should look like.
I am also on the Education Committee, initially as a result of starting The Master Genealogist (TMG) Sydney User Group in 2003 when I could see that if I didn't volunteer to start the mailing list no one else would. I have developed from being utterly terrified of speaking at the first meeting of the Group to giving lectures and workshops for the Society on genealogical and social media topics. The confidence this has given me is priceless.
I'm now on the Council, helping to make strategic decisions about how the Society conducts its work, and I enjoy that too.
I guess what I am trying to say is this: You get more out of volunteering than you put into it. And you might develop skills you didn't know you had in you!

Classroom Workshops
The Wellness Education and Promotion Program provides classroom workshops on a variety of health-related topics that are relevant to the lives of college students. Our workshops topics include Condom Use and Safer Sex, Understanding Unhealthy Relationships and Building Healthy Relationships, and Breast and Testicular Cancers and Self-Examinations. If you know of a specific date you will not be available to teach a class, call the Wellness Education and Promotion Program to schedule a classroom workshop during that time. Learn more about our workshops below, and if you would like to schedule a workshop for your class or club, contact us.
This interactive workshop includes a discussion about the common barriers to condom use, and the advantages and perceived disadvantages of using condoms. Participants learn about the effectiveness of condoms, types of lubricant, the different types of condoms available, and about female condoms and dental dams. The workshop includes an activity that allows students to practice correctly putting condoms onto condom demonstration models, and when time permits a follow-up activity during which students are divided into groups and provided with scenarios dealing with condom negotiation skills in relationships, and are asked to determine how they would handle various situations. This workshop includes an anonymous pre-and-post-test evaluation for students to complete.
HIV/AIDS: Dispelling Myths and Misconceptions
In this workshop students will be able to clarify misconceptions about the HIV/AIDS virus, identify HIV/AIDS routes of transmission, and learn preventive methods to reduce the risks of getting or transmitting the HIV/AIDS virus This workshop will also teach students the importance of knowing their status and provide resources on HIV/AIDS testing sites in the city.
Self-Care: Breat and Testicular Self Exam
Breast cancer is beginning to affect women younger and younger, and 1 in 7 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Testicular cancer affects men, most often, between the ages of 15 and 35. Early detection is key, and abnormal masses are often detected during self-examinations. During this workshop, students will learn how to perform a monthly breast and testicular self-examination using breast and testicular demonstration models. Each small group within the class will have a chance to practice this important skill on a model. Students will also learn about annual gynecological visits, during which females are given a clinical breast exam by a physician or nurse practitioner, and the importance of men having regular check ups with a general practitioner, which also includes a clinical testicular exam. This workshop includes an anonymous pre-and-post-test evaluation for students to complete.
Nutrition 101
People often confuse the word "diet" as a change in eating behavior when in fact "diet" is what we eat at any given point in time. In this workshop, students will be asked for a 24-hour recall of what they have had to eat. The responses will be grouped into the different parts of the Healthy Food Plate and will be evaluated on its healthiness and how to make it healthier. The six essential nutrients will be discussed, highlighting the benefits of eating a well-balanced diet. Students will also be given tips on how to eat healthily on and off campus, offering different options that are within a half-mile radius. This workshop includes an anonymous pre-and-post-test evaluation for students to complete.
Health at Every Size: Health and Nutrition Series
The Health at Every Size Is a peer reviewed curriculum developed to educate others on adopting a weight neutral approach towards health, thereby filling a void in health curriculum at colleges, universities, and professional training programs. This curriculum is designed to teach the following Health At Every Size (HAES®) principles:
- Accepting and respecting the diversity of body shapes and sizes.
- Recognizing that health and well-being are multi-dimensional and that they include physical, social, spiritual, occupational, emotional, and intellectual aspects.
- Promoting all aspects of health and well-being for people of all sizes.
- Promoting eating in a manner which balances individual nutritional needs, hunger, satiety, appetite, and pleasure.
- Promoting individually appropriate, enjoyable, life-enhancing physical activity, rather than exercise that is focused on a goal of weight loss.
* These can be requested individually or as an entire series.
HEAS PT 1- What does Health at Every Size Mean?
Overview of the Health At Every Size Paradigm
- Participants will be able to describe the drawbacks of a weight-centered approach to health.
- Participants will be able to recognize the multi-dimensionality of health and the limited role of diet and exercise on health outcomes.
- Participants will be able to define the Health At Every Size paradigm.
- Participants will be able to explain the differences between a diet and a non-diet approach to wellness.
- Participants will be able to examine the scientific research that supports non-diet approaches.
HEAS PT 2- Developing a Healthy Relationship with Food and Exercise
- Participants will be able to describe the differences between internal and external cues to eating.
- Participants will be able to utilize the hunger and fullness scale to guide eating timing and amounts.
- Participants will be able to describe the benefits of mindful eating.
- Participants will be able to apply strategies to eat more mindfully.
- Participants will be able to explain the differences between extrinsic and intrinsic motivators for physical activity.
HEAS PT 3- Size Acceptance
- Participants will be able to define body image.
- Participants will be able to describe characteristics of negative and positive body image.
- Participants will be able to identify the influences of body image.
- Participants will be able to provide examples of size discrimination.

Understanding Healthy and Unhealthy Relationships
During this workshop on healthy and unhealthy relationships, students learn about the elements that make relationships healthy and unhealthy. We discuss how to build healthy relationships and healthy behaviors within a relationship, such as maintaining separate identities, effective communication, trust, honesty, and mutual respect. We discuss ways in which unhealthy elements within a relationship may be improved with healthy communication. The discussion also includes how modern technology such as facebook, text messaging, e-mail and twitter affect relationships, and can lead to unhealthy situations within relationships. Students are divided into small groups and provided with relationship scenarios. They are asked to determine how they would advise a friend to handle each situation. The class discusses each situation as well as possible solutions within each scenario. The class also provides an overview of the different forms of intimate partner abuse and violence-- physical, psychological, verbal, emotional, financial, and sexual abuse, and signs of an unhealthy or abusive relationship.

Spritz Cookies/Swedish Butter Cookies
OXO's Cookie Press. It's been many years since I've made Spritz Cookies. Partly, it's because my 30-year old metal cookie press became separated from some of it's parts. I bought another one, made of clear plastic. I forget the brand, but it broke the first time I used it. Plus, the cookies were okay. But I didn't find them to be anything special.
So, I caved and I bought the cookie press. The cookie press comes with recipes, but I found an America's Test Kitchen recipethat I wanted to try, first. A basic spritz cookie recipe is very simple-- butter, sugar, egg, salt, vanilla and flour. America's Test Kitchen recipes usually have some sort of "twist", and so far, any recipe I've made of theirs turns out great. This recipe was no exception.
You don't have to buy a cookie press to make Spritz cookies! You can use a piping bag with a star tip. I will say, though, that cookie presses are easy, fast and a bit of fun to use.
Two sticks of softened butter, a pinch of salt and sugar are beaten until fluffy. Then the egg/heavy cream mixture is added and mixed until blended.
Whatever you do, do not set the cookie dough on parchment paper, nor should you grease the baking sheet. You'll get frustrated. Trust me, the cookies won't stick. I promise.
I also made an almond version of cookie dough, by adding 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract and 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. I decided to add some coarse sugar on top, for texture and I use the "Daisy" disk for this version.
One more thing-- don't press cookies onto a warm cookie sheet! Let the baking sheet cool completely. I was able to put them into the freezer to speed up the process, as I have three cookie sheets and wanted to move things along.
TASTING NOTES: These cookies are anything but ho-hum. The vanilla version was buttery and crispy, with a really tender crumb. My son's eyes lit up when he tasted them. He said they were just like eating potato chips-- you can't eat just one! I'm a big fan of almond flavored sweets, so I favor the almond version. I have plans for other flavors-- like chocolate, and adding lemon zest for a citrus variation. I've got a few other ideas, I'll keep under wraps for now.
My next recipe, using this Cookie Press will be some savory cheesy crackers (er, "biscuits). You will be the first to know how they turned out!
NOTE: OXO did a great job with developing this cookie press I like the press down lever (as opposed to my former "twist" handle). I also like that this is dishwasher friendly. OXO did not choose me to receive this cookie press for free (I wish). I'm not being paid to promote this product. My opinions are truly my own!
I always post a printable recipe card at the end of each recipe post. If you cannot view it, you might be using an older version of InternetExplorer. You should be able to view my recipe cards with Safari, Mozilla, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
If you still can't view the recipe card, all of my recipes are stored on Key Ingredient, by clicking here.

Your cookies look beautiful. I can remember my mother making 'forcer' biscuits each Christmas and her cursing when the mixture wasn't the right consistency to go through the machine. Somehow they always turned out okay.

I have such wonderful memories associated with these little butter cookies. I can't look at them without thinking about my Mutti. My old cookie gun was so temperamental that I tossed it years ago. Thinking about a new one.

Debby, these cookies look so delicious. They're so simple and I think that's what makes them so yummy! Love the cookie press as well. Might have to invest in one myself! Thanks for a great post!

Love your cookies! My MIL was Swedish so she made them a lot and now I do. Still have the metal cookie press and another one but will check out the OXO. Thanks!

Jenn, thanks for the recipe. This is the one that's in the OXO recipe booklet, and I plan to try the cream cheese version, too!

Oh my these are so cute!! I've yet to meet an OXO product I didn't love and I can't believe i've never seen this in stores! It's a need.

I have had spritz cookies on my list for years! I even own a cookie press, but have never used it. These look fantastic and just the perfect amount of sweet buttery crispiness! Lovely, lovely blog - you and I are going to be great friends :)

Even though I love all things chocolate, there is something to be said for cookies that are simply letting butter and sugar stand out. I love those tins of Danish butter cookies after all. These look so wonderful and I don't blame you one bit for eating raw cookie dough. I do it too and live to tell about it!

Your spritz cookies bring back so many childhood Christmas memories! Somehow I'm in more of a Christmas baking mood this year, and you've nudged me further along with this delicious post Debby!

I love the simplicity but delicious taste of these cookies, they sure are beautiful. Wishing I had a few right now to nibble on.

Lovely! Spritz are one of my favorite cookies. While I am willing to be adventuresome, the basic butter, sugar and vanilla ones are my favorite version. I'll have to try your recipe.
I've got a great old press. I can't recall who made it offhand, but I have has it for well over thirty years, and it has served me well. I've used the method of forming the dough into a log since i was a kid, and I think it is the most efficient method of doing this.
It's time again to make Spritz cookies! Thanks for setting the mood! The only trouble, of course, is I eat them as they come out of the oven...

Sounds so silly, doesn't it? Spending big to live small. That's my life at the moment - a bundle of contradictions! I feel so hypocritical talking about living more simply and with less stuff yet planning to spend a small fortune in order to extend our house! But to us it makes sense. We're realists. We know we can't do teeny tiny living - we plan to be here for a while and want our tweens and teenagers to have their own space. But we're not knocking our house down and building a McMansion and we're not adding on masses of extra rooms or installing luxury fittings or giving each child an ensuite or spaces that won't get used. We're working with the existing structure and attempting to make it look better, flow better and suit our family of six. It took us two years and many, many different versions, but we finally got a final plan together and submitted to council and I think we nailed it - for us. Want to take a peek?
Front and back in line-drawing form, above. The windows are still to be decided in terms of their exact looks (I'm thinking part of the centre upstairs windows will be louvres and the rest fixed. And probably not so many panels. The back is also going to be slightly different - the deck cover will just be pergola style, not a second roof or the hot west Summer sun will just cook us! My little illustration of the front and back of the house will be more like it (hopefully not as wonky in the structure's lines though!!)
Ground floor, above: So everything right of the dotted red line is our existing house. See? It's tiny! Since moving in we renovated the bathroom and painted the bedrooms. Then after playing with several floor plans we decided to rejig what we had already and eventually extend onto the back of the house only. So we knocked out several walls to open the living room side of the house all the way up front to back. It's like living in a fishbowl at times, but it's made a huge difference to light and my sanity. I love being able to supervise the kids when they're playing outside from pretty much anywhere on that side of the house. The good thing about our plan is, we now don't need to make any drastic changes to the existing structure - no bedrooms need to be converted to staircases or anything like that. All we want to do is slightly extend the dining room area as it's so tiny - we're hoping council lets us continue the floor at this height for one more metre as well as the laundry and storeroom. We have to increase the floor height due to living in a flood zone (the downside to living so close to the water!) so past the dining room will be a couple of stairs up to the new floor height family room. The wall dividing the family room from the laundry and storeroom will have a long built-in low shelf along it with a fireplace. The ceiling in this family room will be raked so it will be a huge open room with lots of light. The stairs will feature a large linen cupboard built under the highest steps; the middle and lower stairs will have a bar built in underneath them. French doors will open outwards onto a covered deck and there will be plenty of windows to keep it light and airy. The windows on the north wall in the family room will be high ones purely for light. The laundry will have an L-shaped bench with another linen cupboard and extra pantry - our kitchen is not huge so it'll be the go-to place for extra everything as well as the recycle bin. We'll be installing Ikea kitchen cabinetry for this room again and I want to cram as much storage into it as is physically possible! Next to the laundry will be a built-in tool/garden/bike/scooter/fishing kit storage room. Steve wants it to be all old-school and a bit beat up like a Grandad's shed at the back of the yard kind of room.
Top floor, above: Upstairs you'll come into a large open landing. The roof will literally slope down to the floor on either side of this landing area - the bigger side will be Steve's library looking out into the family room and the small side will maybe eventually be turned into a small study/bedroom for Annika. Above the laundry and store room will be a long narrow storage area built into the sloped roof - perfect for office paraphernalia if we ever start a business, which is a future goal. There will also be a laundry shute in there - yesssss. This excites more than it probably should. I mean, it's a laundry shute!?
Through the doors is our master bedroom suite. The ensuite will have a super-large shower - we'd like a walk-through one but I don't think the space is big enough. Bummer! Still, it will be nice to have a dedicated shower again! There will be no door to the ensuite - in fact, the walls on either side of the doorway will be low-height. Opposite the ensuite will be a wardrobe built into the eaves. The rest of that narrow storage area I'm thinking of using as my sewing/craft space. It should be just big enough to sit in comfortably. Our bed will sit alongside the knee wall under a roof window and there will be a small door or large window out onto a little balcony. Access to the other storage area will be from the small study/little bedroom area and I'm picturing it hidden in a cupboard and being a magical play space for the kids eventually. Both of these storage spaces at the front of the house will have large fixed windows in them and plenty of light, so I might as well make them useable!
So providing we get the all-ok from council (neighbours had until last Friday to object so we should hear something from them very soon), this is what our house should hopefully end up looking like. It's not too big, it's not too small, it's just right for us. There isn't anything too tricky or unique in the design, but it's not your bog-standard home extension either, which we like. The entire look and feel of the house will just start off pretty clean and simple and we'll see where we go from there. I don't want clutter or all surfaces filled with things. We just want to surround ourselves with pieces we love, that are comfortable, made from natural materials and hopefully pleasing to the eye too! With a fair bit of breathing space in-between it all with white walls and natural-stained timber floors. I'm calling it cosy simplicity - can that be a thing? I think it could be...

In border-area counties of Texas, requirements related to platting, selling, and connecting utilities to residential subdivision lots depend upon several factors. Using Hidalgo County as an example, this summary and map present a "big picture" or overview of how and where different requirements may apply. Other handouts provide further explanations, and the statutes and rules themselves must be consulted for their many details and exceptions.
Incorporated cities in Texas have limited authority for various purposes in areas beyond their city limits. This so-called "extraterritorial jurisdiction," or "ETJ," is defined by § 42.021 of the Local Government Code ("LGC") to extend for different distances (½ mile, 1 mile, 2 miles, 3½ miles, or 5 miles) depending upon the number of inhabitants in a city. Under a special state law (LGC § 212.001) that applies in counties such as Hidalgo bordering the Rio Grande, the ETJ of a city with a federal decennial census population of 5,000 or more is expanded to five miles for purposes of subdivision and development regulation (including utility connection) under Chapter 212. The map below shows by shading the areas within city limits and by a dashed line the approximate limits of the combined ETJ's of the cities in Hidalgo County.
In the border area, state law (Local Govt. Code § 242.001) requires subdivision plat approval by:
Outside a city but inside its Chapter 212 ETJ, if a city regulation conflicts with a county regulation, the more stringent provision prevails.
In reviewing plats, a city will apply its subdivision ordinance and state laws, particularly Chapter 212 of the LGC. If the city is receiving EDAP funds, it must also apply the Texas Water Development Board's Model Subdivision Rules (or equivalent requirements) to residential developments with lots of five acres or less. For a subdivision of two or more lots intended primarily for residential use, the county will apply the county subdivision regulations and state laws, particularly Subchapter B of Chapter 232 of the LGC. The county will also apply the TWDB's Model Subdivision Rules to residential developments with lots of five acres or less.
Subchapter B requires ads to describe utility availability and forbids the sale of a lot lacking water and sewage facilities (except by the resident owner). These laws apply to all subdivisions of two or more residential lots outside cities. Subchapter B and Chapter 5 of the Property Code also have special requirements when a contract for deed is used in the sale of a residential lot.
Requirements for utility connections depend upon such factors as the location and the use of the land to be served, the history of the subdividing and selling of the property, the history of utility service, and the availability or feasibility of water service. In counties like Hidalgo within 50 miles of the border, a certificate from the county or a city (and sometimes from both) is typically required before a utility may provide water, sewer, gas, or electric service to subdivided land. Even with the certificate or certificates, sometimes further conditions must be met to receive utility service. The principal requirements are found in LGC §§ 212.0115 and 212.012 (city certificates) and §§ 232.028 and 232.029 (county certificates). In general, for land within a city's limits, a utility must receive a certificate from the city before it may provide utility service. For a residential lot outside the city but within its ETJ, the utility generally needs a certificate from the county and sometimes one from the city also. For a residential lot beyond any city's ETJ, a utility must generally receive an appropriate certificate from the county. Typically, being platted will make a lot eligible for utilities as far as city certificates are concerned. As to county certificates, platting is usually necessary to obtain water or sewer service, and getting electricity or gas generally requires sewer service or septic-suitability, plus water service. Some limited exceptions can apply.

This draft map is for illustrative purposes and is not geographically precise. Check with the city clerks (or planning departments) for maps showing the precise locations of the ETJ lines. Cities are required by law (LGC § 41.001) to keep up-to-date maps of their city limits and ETJ's.

Slow Internet issue reaches Town Council
Here's just a sliver of what Internet Hades looks like:
"I don't know how realistic this is," said Jason Oelkers, Suddenlink's regional system manager, addressing Mammoth Town Council on Wednesday, "but I'll throw it out there:
"In communities that have a drought, like in Texas, they say that homes with even [numbered] addresses can use water Monday through Thursday, and…"
Oelkers, from Truckee, immediately drew laughter from the audience and stopped his example.
"I'm just trying to be creative," he said plaintively. "It's a wild idea, but we're trying to come up with something."
Oelkers said the real, long-term solution is tapping into the Digital 395 fiber-optic cable, if and when it ever gets here. He acknowledged there are slowups in the construction of the "pipe," such as environmental issues.
In the meantime, there is no quick, visible solution to the slow Internet speeds in Mammoth, where in this past winter Suddenlink stopped taking new residential and business orders.
As for Verizon, who knows?
Oelkers appeared before the council at the request of Town Councilman Matt Lehman, who also invited representation for Verizon.
But Verizon was nowhere to be seen, perhaps caught in a traffic jam in the Internet pipe.
That left Oelkers to take the heat by himself, and Lehman pounced.
"It's been a pretty hot topic," he said. "I brought up this question some time ago and then the phone started ringing.
"I'm hearing that there is no solution until Digital 395 gets here, but I'm concerned about the impacts between now and then.
"In my office, we're paying for megabytes of bandwidth that we don't get.
"At Suddenlink at home, I'm paying for a service I don't even get. I get maybe 10 percent of what's promised.
"To me that's frustrating on a personal level, and then I start hearing it from visitors up here, and they're the ones who drive our economy.
"A lot of them come up here on working vacations, and when they come up during a vacation and can't get Internet service, the answer for them is to go to Colorado or Utah instead."
Oelkers said he feels the pain, but could offer nothing in the short-term.
"This was a problem we inherited," he said. "Our circuit was starting to get to the point where it wasn't effective. What we're finding, though, is that 10 percent of our customers take up 90 percent of our bandwidth."
Oelkers referred to heavy streamers who use Netflix and so on, and streaming video eats up capacity.
"We've never instituted a policy of limiting bandwidth, but overall, year over year, our subscriber base has remained relatively flat, but Internet bandwidth usage has doubled.
"That's where you see the congestion, as well as in smartphone use."

The Great Black Angus Bull Jump
You may not know this about me, but I used to be LeFlore County's best stunt man in the late 1970s. I got a phone call from my old event coordinator and team manager, Jeff "Jedi" Dennis. He wanted to promote one last big jump for me.I was all set to get out the ol' 1984 Kawasaki 125, grow back those killer pork-chop sidebars and jump the bull at the Black Angus Motel with all the proceeds raised going to local charities. I loved it.So, I got to the motel to get some measurements for the ramp builders, Ed Sockey and Dr. Rodney Ford. To my surprise, the bull is gone! Holy cow?That bull represents Poteau — that bull was Poteau. Every kid from out of town sat on that bull, and had their picture taken. In 1978, we took our family Christmas pictures in front of the bull.I'm trying to figure out how long the bull has been gone. I can't believe that this historic county legend is gone.After I collected myself, I texted "Jedi" and asked him what do we do now? He came up with a new jump. I could jump Town Creek (a.k.a., "the Snake River") right behind Reed-Williams Insurance so that I can get a running start and jump it between the Town Creek Park — the home of the Poteau Pirates baseball team — and the home field of the Poteau Lady Pirates softball field.For a jump this big, I'll have to wear my super oil riggers coveralls and have the Purple Plume bling them out with sequins. If I don't make the jump, at least I'll look cool!The jump will take place at high noon on April 1 — that's right, on April Fool's Day. You can get your tickets at On the Spot Auto Glass and Reed-Williams Insurance. Keith Marquez at Reed-Williams told me he turned 45 this month, and then looked at me. He paused, then said to me, "That means you're really, really old, Jody!" Thanks for reminding me, Mr. Marquez.Save the world, recycle.God bless our troops and veterans.Have a great weekend.• • •Any questions or pictures, make contact with Jody Ray Adams on Facebook, on the "Jody Ray Fishing Hotline" at (918) 649-7387 or email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

GONZALES — The Ascension Parish School Board on Tuesday rejected the application of a charter school that hoped to open in the parish for the 2013-14 school year.
By a 9-2 vote, the board denied the application for the R. Rayborn Charter School, a kindergarten through fifth-grade school that planned to locate on La. 941 in Gonzales. Catherine Davis and Richard "Coach" Brown were the two board members who voted in favor of the charter school.
Four people spoke at a public hearing in support of the charter school, which would be an offshoot of a summer educational program run at Christian Assembly Full Gospel Church in Gonzales.
Erica Brown Ramos said the school, which was projected to house 226 students in the six grades by 2015-16, would help improve the confidence and performance of some students who are being left behind in the public school system.
"It's an opportunity for us to focus on the children who aren't performing like we believe they should," she said.
Kim Williams, the third-party manager of the charter school application process for the School Board said, however, the charter school's application met state standards in only two of eight sections — pre-opening and governance of the school. She said the application was missing key data in the areas of culture, leadership, school operations, education program, teaching and budget/financial management.
Williams did praise the school's organizers for their efforts and said more time could aid the organizers' proposal.
"They have put together a phenomenal board who wants to do outstanding things for kids," Williams said.
The denial left the charter school officials with two options — seek approval from the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, or wait until the next charter school application process begins in September and try for approval to open for the 2014-15 school year.
Eartha Rayborn, a former principal and supervisor in the Ascension Parish school system, said she and other charter school officials would wait until September to submit an improved application. She said her "heart" was in helping at-risk and below-grade-level children.
"It's not that we're against the Ascension Parish School Board," she said. "We want to work with them because after the fifth grade, they go back into the school system."

African wax print + 50's Party Dress
Added Jun 29, 2012
by heatherlou
Montreal, Canada
I was totally inspired by a fellow Burda lady for this project (this dress is so great: http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/1950s-dress-with-african-fabric). I mixed two different wax prints on this dress – I intended on using the acorn print all the way around but 2 yards wasn't enough.
I was really drawn to the psychedelic patterns of these prints – eyeballs and acorns, how can you go wrong? I used a Butterick reproduction vintage pattern (5748). I also lined this one with voile at the bust and poly organza at the skirt to give it more fullness. You can read more about the process here: http://closetcasefiles.blogspot.ca/2012/06/wax-prints-party-dresses.html
Material Notes
cotton African wax print, white cotton voile (lining – bodice), poly organza (lining – skirt), invisible zipper

So many screens, so little time
Optimizing your email for the usual assortment of desktop clients and factoring in the explosive growth in mobile email opens requires extra care.
Email programs are among the best ways for brand managers to keep a brand in front of customers. Although email programs may not be as "cool" as the latest social media outlets are, studies in recent years have shown that every dollar spent on email generated $30 to $40 in return. That is more than search advertising can claim, and more than the trendiest social media platform can hope to provide.
But email entails more than just composing and sending these days. Potential users can be turned away from your brand by emails that perform poorly due to today's wide assortment of devices, screen sizes and gimmicks designed to engage desktop clients.
Standards? Sorry, we don't have any.
Well, not in any official kind of way. Though the folks at email-standards.org do a fine job of keeping everyone up-to-date on what the latest email clients support, there is no governing body like the W3C to keep watch over the world of email.
To ensure that your email will be viewed extensively, you'll need to consult an ever-changing list of CSS and HTML features supported by each individual email program. For most recent email programs—both mobile and desktop—media queries are supported. Take full advantage of this and treat your email with the same responsive touch you would give your web sites.
An ever-expanding base of screen sizes.
In addition to having a stunning lack of standards, the world you will be sending your email out into is filled with a constantly growing number of devices and screen sizes. Mobile email opens have exploded in recent months, with iOS devices making up over 35% of all opens.
Have you taken proper precautions to make your email's message compelling, no matter the size or orientation?
Embrace the ability to create responsive email; it could mean the difference between success and failure with on-the-go users.
Your images are probably being blocked by default for your desktop users.
A great many of the currently available email programs block images by default. Be sure to write ALT tags for images meant to entice. These tags may generate interest among users who choose to display images on your email, or are adding a whitelist for future image display.
In a stroke of good luck, Apple's enormously popular iOS platform displays all images by default.
Optimize your copy as well as your design.
The mobile device explosion should also allow you to stay focused on the effectiveness of your copy, as well as on your design and layout. The character limits for sender name and subject line on iOS and other mobile devices are around 35 characters for the sender name, and around 40 characters for the subject line.
Count your characters and maximize the impact of your subject line when viewed in a mobile new message alert.
As always, keep your main message concise and get the most important information into the top of the email.
Make an effort to reduce scroll fatigue for users by writing crisp, clear email copy, and work with your designer/developer to use progressive disclosure techniques to provide teasers and unveil larger blocks of content.
Make sure the design and copy team considers the readability of text and buttons in your mobile versions. Apple's iOS has a minimum font size of 13 pixels and recommends a 44x44 pixel minimum button target area. These guidelines are vital for you to keep in mind when creating calls to action.
So, while you are thinking big with your branded email campaigns, don't forget to also think small…small in terms of screens. Optimize your content for mobile, keep your templates responsive, and keep an eye on what the hot email programs can and can't do. A few simple steps can help you continue maximizing your email ROI.

Local pastor James Arthur McAbee, known as "the Pistol Packing Preacher," faced judgment Aug. 20, not the preacher's final judgment in the eyes of the Lord but judgment by a Jefferson County criminal court on marijuana charges stemming from an April incident in which officers reportedly discovered him with drugs and a gun.
